Dream Makers: Untamed\Less Of A Stranger

Jo Wilder had the heart of a lion and the temper of a wildcat. And when Keane Prescott crossed her path, she bared her claws.

Though Keane's kisses left her breathless, it was his tenderness that threatened to tame her heart.

Less of a Stranger

Confident and colossally arrogant, David Katcherton swept into Megan Miller's life and awakened feelings that had long been lying dormant. But she wasn't about to fall for this irresistible stranger who was after her grandfather's business. As Katch challenged her to fulfill her dreams, he also aroused passions she'd never known before….

A wonderful read, 2008-05-09
I absolutely love her books, I have only found 1 that I did not like. Not bad for the volume of books I read. Nora Roberts certainly keeps your attention!

1980's release, 2007-12-14
This books had two very similar characters falling in love. It is very G-rated and over all it was Ok. I am one of those readers who has to have book stash (when I run out...) , this was in my stash for over a year. I wouldn't spend money on this book - but would feel comfortable giving to a great aunt who might not want all the heat in most novels.

hmm... not what youll expect, 2007-07-12
if youre a nora roberts fan this isnt one of the ones youll flock to. she plays it low key in this one. theres not the normal "romance" in this that you would find in the others. so if youre looking for a steamy read this really isnt going to tap that area. not bad though

I Liked it, 2007-04-02
I really did like this book. This wasn't the first collection of stories by Nora Roberts I've read, so don't think I'm an amateur at this by any means. This was a two-in-one collection, with one story being better than the last.

UNTAMED // this was a cute story about a lion trainer that had been devoted to the circus all of her life. Sadly, the owner of the circus dies, & to Jo's dismay, leaves it to his arrogant & uncaring son, Keane! *gasp* As the story goes on, Jo's hatred for Keane grows less & less...

LESS OF A STRANGER // I liked this more than the first, actually. It was a pretty entertaining read. This time the story circles around Megan & the man who tries to win her (& her grandfather's amusement park) over. His name is Katch, & he's a very charming man. At first, all Megan sees is cockiness & money, but as the story goes on, she finds herself SCULPTING him?! Wondering what I mean? Read the book. =]

So, I don't know. I liked it, & it served its purpose as a romance. It left me with a happy feeling, which it was supposed to do. I'm not easily won over, but this book did it.

If this happened to be the first Nora Robert's collection you read, I'd also recommend IRISH HEARTS (Irish Thorougbred & its sequel Irish Rose), IRISH DREAMS (Irish Rebel-the sequel to IT & IR & Sullivan's Woman), & IRISH BORN (three stories about the Concannon sisters; Born in Fire, Born in Ice, & Born in Shame).

A Circus Freak and a Carnival Geek, 2006-12-27
This is a collection of two of NR's older Silhouettes.

The first is the story of Jolivette (isn't that a prison near Chicago?), a lion trainer (don't you dare call her a tamer) in a traveling circus. She speaks dozens of languages, can fly through the air with the greatest of ease, has spunk, and is, of course, cute as a button. Keane, the new owner of the circus doesn't stand a chance. Too bad she hates him from the beginning. Or does she? (wiggle eyebrows here)

The second is the story of Meg, the sculptor who works in her grandfather's carnival in South Carolina. Katch wants to buy the carnival, and he wants to bed Meg. Insert much hot tension, but no resolution. For an 80's Silhouette, each of these stories are very innocent, in a charming way.

Both heroes are strong, dependable men who quickly realize just what they need (the heroines). Both heroines are emotionally reluctant orphans, self-reliant and strong, yet strangely vulnerable. The stories are firmly entrenched in early 80's Harlequin (parent of silhouette) rules - the man must be strong and overbearing; the woman must be fiery, strong, and independent, yet yield to the stronger boffo male in the end. Yet NR does put a bit of her own twists in (the men are slightly vulnerable and the women don't yield all, as they would in most harlequins of this time.)Both stories are decent, light NR, with shades and echoes of some of her greater, later works.
